You have school events on, meet the teacher nights, meetings with parents, meetings with support teams and the list goes on right? All of the things can begin to cause stress, anxiety or overwhelm. Listen in this week for strategies on how to manage that back to school stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

Join me as we talk about values and how knowing what is most impotant to you can help you create strong boundaries.
